Wrong expected outcome in UG for addTG #1

Open VaishakAnand opened 3 years ago

The written decription for the expected outcome for addTG is incorrect. It should be: Adds a tutorial group T03 that takes place every MON from 11:00 to 13:00 to the tutorial group list.

Team's Response

Thanks for the feedback. This was a typo. The example command properly shows our intention.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue severity

Team chose [severity.VeryLow] Originally [severity.Low]

Reason for disagreement: The team conceded that there was an error made, and they reduced the severity from Low to VeryLow, but they did not provide a reason for doing so.

According to the cs2103 website, A VeryLow rating is applicable to bugs that are purely cosmetic, while a Low rating applies to bugs that cause a minor inconvenience to users.

The team mentioned that the error was caused by a typo, but i disagree. A typo suggests that an error involving a few characters was made (like typing 'rets' instead of 'rest'). I believe that the mistake made by the team should not just be considered a 'typo', as the expected outcome mentioned to the reader is significantly different, and so the entire meaning is changed. This certainly causes inconvenience and confusion to the reader, and should not just be considered a cosmetic flaw. They might be led to believe that the actual behavior is completely different from the actual behavior, and so might have to try and figure out what is wrong in their understanding.

As a result, I strongly believe that this is not merely VeryLow, but should be a Low issue at the very least.
